"Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities."

"A charming bed & breakfast maybe 15 miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, and about 10 minutes from the historic Iron Door Saloon. Steve met me at the door, took the time to get to know about me, and helped prepare my trip into Yosemite. Free homemade cookies every day in your room. Breakfast was amazing…the mountain scenery is beautiful, and the hummingbirds make it magical. I highly recommend anyone stay here!"

"The place is really cozy and has a warm cabin feel. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Only complaint was the bed wasn't very comfortable and the pillows were a little flat for my liking. Overall the place was a nice stay and the staff were really friendly."
"Needs better the real maintenance and cleaning pools and rooms more often. Our toilet handle was broken and was not fixed in the 2 days we stayed. Pool coating was coming apart with the same trash in the 2 days we stayed"
"The staff was really lovely and catered to our special requests. A shout out to Heidi - really appreciated her kindness and sharing tips on a plan to Yosemite. Adventure tent was clean with a very comfortable bed. There is coffee in the morning and evening activities which is a nice way to end the day. Overall excellent stay in a beautiful location."
"This a review for the room next the check in office. Location was conveniently close to Yosemite. Room cleanliness was mediocre, we found 4 spiders with their webs inside the room, carpet could use more cleanliness as well.
Microwave and fridge were not powerful so items in the fridge did not get real cold and it took several minutes to get anything warm in the microwave.
Beware when you cook outside, we happened to find a black widow under the grill and we found another 3 big black widows nestled on the siding of the property and underneath the outdoor breaker boxes next to the main door, while I understand it is the Sierra nevadas and that is their habitat, the staff could do better prevention to keep spiders clear off these areas such as cleaning spiderwebs frequently and spraying off the perimeter to repel spiders or at least warn the guests about their presence so they do not get surprised as we did. It could have gone bad quickly for us if someone would have gotten bitten while using the grill with the spider in it that we happened to find by chance."
